Alpha Protocol Finally Gets a Release Date

After missing two scheduled launches, the espionage RPG is back on track.

Obsidian Entertainment's anticipated espionage RPG Alpha Protocol missed its originally scheduled October release date, and things didn't look good as we approached the rescheduled "spring 2010" launch without a word from the company. But now it appears Obsidian and publisher Sega are finally on the same page: Alpha Protocol will hit the shelves on June 1.

Obsidian, which made Star Wars: KoToR2 and is currently working on Fallout: New Vegas, released a statement in October saying more time was needed to polish the game. Sega complied, giving the developer what will end up being an additional seven months.

Sharkey says: I'd rather have a solid game than one with potential that was rushed out the door. Here's to hoping Obsidian worked out all the kinks and is finally ready to deliver.
